challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

This was a challenging read due to the emotional and physical abuse inflicted on Prachi. However, this is an important read to understand some of the unique experiences of Indian Americans, children of immigrants, and anyone who has abusive and compliant parents.
